** 2019 Opponent Previews : Minnesota (Game 7) **

I think this is going to be a good game, but I think 8 pt spread is a little high. I actually think Nebraska could win this game I'm definitely picking them to cover this week. Last week I picked northwestern to cover.

I agree there was not a lot different other than I do agree that Vedral ran a bit more decisively than AM. However, the throw to Wan'Dale was almost identical to one AM hit him on earlier you can see it here:

I think the main thing Vedral does better is process information quicker, because he knows the offense so well. 

I think Martinez has a stronger arm, but can't really comment on accuracy, as I haven't seen Vedral throw enough.

Man is that what tickets are going for.  I kinda got a old school ISU vs Nebraska vibe for this one tickets 35 a piece kinda thing.  Guess i was wrong.  

 
Is J.D. Spielman going to play? Never blamed the kid for leaving town for college. The media can be brutal on an NFL general manager, and that would be tough to listen to as a kid.

Right now prices up here are $125 - 250 for the lower bowl. Who knows with the weather, prices may go down. I would stay on it, and see what you can find Thursday/Friday.

I bought early because I have a bunch of family/friends coming up here. Getting what I paid may be a challenge now. 

 
I'll ask it again... Where have the quick WR screens/bubbles gone this year? It got AM in rhythm and spread the defense out more and made them sit back less last season.

These?




Although that one is actually an RPO. I think we're just not blocking them well enough to be confident calling them, or defenses just aren't giving us the numbers we like to want to run them.

That's just one time and some were RPO but a lot were not either. I know against Iowa for example last year we ran a ton of them if you go back and watch. We did it all last year really

Yeah I've wondered as well, I just immediately thought of that play Saturday and assumed it's blocking. But then thinking more, those are almost always called contingent on numbers in the box. So I'm more inclined to believe teams are specifically gameplanning looks that we don't want to run those against.

Doubtful. I doubt Martinez or Washington play either.

Does that have anything behind it? JD certainly looked much better than Martinez walking off the field last week, and you'd figure he's going to try since it's in his home town. I haven't heard if he's practicing or not, but I thought there was a decent chance he'd be ready.

Only reason Mo wouldn't play is if he doesn't respond to the suspension how the coaches want him to. Which is entirely possible, but I don't think he'd do something to get suspended again. Maybe just a limited role.

The WR screen is being hampered by not having Cade Warner in the game.  Cade is probably the best blocker on those and when he catches the ball there he is probably one of the best guys at making that first guy miss.  Warner being hurt is really hurting our passing game right now. 

You got to give NW some credit on defense.  They are right up there at being very good.  They lack some in athletes but are probably the most fundamentally sound defense that Nebraska will play this year.  If they aren't they are just behind Wisconsin in that respect.  NW is never out of position. That was text book on how to play the screen.  Paddy Fisher and Joe Graziano and there other ILB can't remember his name, could basically play for anyone in the B1G.  They will all play on Sundays.

And still only being able to manage 4-5 yards. But yeah, he at least knows how to run them.

And you're right, that is not a bad defense. 8th in the country by SP+ - they've got some dudes. And if we got the drops/penalties cleaned up (big if, I know) there wouldn't be much talk about the offense struggling to move the ball on them.
